COUNCIL ACTS ON HOUSING CRISIS
■ Kingston Council says it is working handin-hand with its local community to develop a positive plan to play its part in tackling the housing crisis, while preserving the unique character of our neighbourhoods. New housing zones that will guide future development across Kingston have been reviewed by an independent planning panel and are now awaiting approval from Victorian Planning Minister Sonya Kilkenny. Kingston’s plan aims to enable sufficient growth to meet the state government’s forecast demand for housing in the municipality over the next couple of decades at least. The Housing Strategy and Neighbourhood Character Study and aims to: ■ channel medium and high-density housing to appropriate areas, including activity centres and along the Nepean Highway; ■ acknowledge the unique characteristics of Kingston’s suburbs; ■ encourage a diverse range of housing options to suit the changing needs of the community; ■ provide some of the most environmentally sustainable building standards in Victoria; and ■ direct key issues including building heights, setbacks and landscaping. Kingston Mayor Cr Hadi Saab said the Council embarked on this city-shaping process in response to the State Government’s Plan Melbourne, which calls on local councils to take a fair share of growth. “Housing supply is a critical issue for all levels of Government right now, and Kingston has stepped up to work with our community over the past six years to deliver a plan that focuses future growth in and around our key activity centres, close to public transport, shops, and services. We have shown this can be done while also protecting our quieter neighbourhood streets” Cr Saab said.
